CBDC Vote Coming Soon

Aug 23, 2025

Finally, your insistence that Congress protect our freedom is bearing fruit. A bill to rein in a freedom-killing Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) is moving forward. The “Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act,” has passed the House, but its Senate companion bill, S 1124, is languishing in the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs. Whether this important financial privacy bill makes it to the floor, let alone passes, may well depend upon you and me. 

Protect your bank account(s) from the government’s prying eyes by faxing the Senate NOW. 

STOP the CBDC financial surveillance state. Fax the entire Senate to demand members VOTE YES on the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act and get a FREE hard copy of our book, Marxist Money: Central Bank Digital Currencies and the Theft of Freedom.

Cryptocurrencies were designed to keep government eyes off personal financial transactions.

Government central bankers designed Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) to counter cryptocurrency privacy measures, enabling the government to monitor and control every cent you own or spend.

In 2022, Joe Biden’s handlers ordered the Federal Reserve to start “investigating” deployment of a CBDC. Within 12 months, the Federal Reserve hadn’t just “investigated” a CBDC, they created one. That tyrannical financial surveillance tool is simply sitting on a shelf waiting for President Donald Trump to leave office.

With Republican control of the House and Senate, we have a very limited window to pass a law that permanently bans CBDCs, so the Fed cannot launch this outrageous freedom killer the moment Trump leaves office.

STOP the Fed’s financial surveillance scheme! Tell The Senate to VOTE YES on S 1124 — the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act!

The Federal Reserve's creation of a CBDC was the opening salvo in a scheme to mimic the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) financial control over its citizens. When implemented, a CBDC will eliminate cash, make the government your direct bank, and force everyone into that central government-run bank, while tracking, tracing, and controlling every cent you own or spend. 

Rep. Tom Emmer introduced the House version of this bill, HR 1919, “to put a check on unelected bureaucrats and ensure the United States’ digital currency policy upholds our values of privacy, individual sovereignty, and free-market competitiveness.” Thank the Lord, that bill passed the House, but it is languishing in the Senate.

“A government-issued CBDC is nothing more than a CCP-style surveillance tool that would be used to undermine the American way of life,” said Rep. Emmer, referring to the Chinese Communist Party’s digital currency specifically designed to control people. 

Currently, in China, the CCP rewards and punishes people via its CBDC. The CCP dictates where and when a person can use their hard-earned money, if at all. 

How CBDCs are used to control Christians and political dissenters

Liu Hu, a journalist in China, covers government censorship and corruption. Because of his truthful reporting, Liu was placed on the CCP’s “List of Dishonest Persons Subject to Enforcement by the Supreme People's Court.” As a result, Liu is now forbidden from using his own money to buy a plane ticket, travel on rail lines, or even buy property.

“There was no file, no police warrant, no official advance notification,” Liu told reporters. “They just cut me off from the things I was once entitled to. What's really scary is there's nothing you can do about it. You can report to no one. You are stuck in the middle of nowhere."

The CCP doesn’t only target journalists and dissidents, either. Many religions are considered to be cults by the Chinese government. The CCP is officially atheist, and its members are forbidden to join any religion. Chinese Christians can wind up on the same “untrustworthy persons” list as Liu.

David McIntosh, president of Club for Growth, says, “Two world visions for the future of digital currencies are in conflict: China and a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) where government creates digital assets and surveils, spies, monitors, and restricts consumer behavior versus an American free marketplace that enables private competition that protects consumer data, allows economic freedom, enables innovation, and encourages competition.” McIntosh added that America should not “go down the China road” by developing a CBDC.

Given the previous administration’s track record of tyranny, including censoring Americans who disagree with the government’s COVID talking points and demanding access to every transaction of every bank account that transacted 600 or more dollars a year, the prospect of a future anti-freedom CBDC is terrifying.

"Thorough anti-CBDC legislation is critical for safeguarding Americans' financial privacy in the face of potential surveillance, control, and political intimidation,” said Ryan Walker, acting executive director of Heritage Action. Walker added that the Anti-CBDC Act is an important measure “to protect individual liberty and prevent threats of government coercion through the financial sector.”

Protect YOUR financial privacy! Tell the Senate to VOTE YES on S 1124!

Like the CCP’s treatment of Christians mentioned above, our latest court case before the U.S. Supreme Court may well determine if Americans still have a right to religious freedom. We are defending Kim Davis, who is being sued into bankruptcy for daring to use her state, federal, and constitutional right to religious freedom. If a person can be personally sued for using their religious freedom rights, then America has no religious freedom at all.
